asked on

outlook 2007 - Scanost - does this result mean no problems found?

I'm trying to solve a diffcult problem that has gone on for some days. A users Outlook crashes and has other problems

(see other thread:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26250566/Intermittent-Error-in-Outlook-2007-Hp-printer.html
)


I wanted to ask the direct with regards to these Scanost results. I run scanost on the entire store and unchecked the box to fix any errors (I wanted to know if there were any).

The results are below, but I think this is saying no problems were found?

I have also read that you can run Scanpst on an ost file? Should I give that a go. I'm so desperate to find what the problem is so I can be sure I get it resolved properly

All does look fine with the results, but if you are playing with an .OST file, why don't you simply delete it and let Outlook regenerate it?
I ran scanpst against an .OST file recently and afterwards, I had to delete the file anyway, so unless you need the .OST or it has something useful in it that you want, just delete it / rename it / move it somewhere else and regenerate it.

ASKER

OK, I created a new profile in theend because of the problems. i REALLY hope this makes the problems go away and there was just some problem wtih the  OST file.

According to the scan result, it seems the .OST file is OK.

AFter many changes included recreating the PST file, the problem has been occuring a lot less. It has still occured though. I did ask user if we can continue to reduce the mailbox size which he is slowly working on.

Will update ASAP
I think this problem was down to mailbox size. When user was made to reduce mailbox size seemed to stop complaining.
Thanks
